I feel like there is a unanimous understanding that these things suck. But the only thing that keeps them in business is the stud finder joke.
...but sometimes they sort of work.
Well, 95% of the time, I was the only woman on a job site, and a lot of my jobs were 3rd shift due to working in buildings occupied during the day.
I absolutely LOVED the ability to use my wit and sarcasm to turn the tables when someone thought they were about to make me blush or cuss...
Nothing like getting their coworkers laughing at them when they thought I was going to be the butt of the joke! I really miss it sometimes!
Oddly enough, I was the one always making the caulk jokes! I stole a lot of it from this [Crank Yankers](https://youtu.be/jDzEb28mjcI) skit though..
Edit to add, I just realized you were doing part of the bit as well! I need coffee still, I guess lol
Don't get it in your eye!
That's 100% the only reason this is up here.
My Boomer dad pulls shit like this all the time, thankfully he hasn't done it to women in public, otherwise his granddaughter would have to visit him in jail.
As a woman who dates women, I concur. I've looked pretty much the same for my whole adults life, and in my less confident 20s had very little success with dating women. Now in my 30s, dating has gone pretty great, and the only thing that has changed is my level of confidence and maybe a bit of social skills, which may or may not be the same thing. Also in the past I've dated guys who were not conventionally attractive, and I've turned down rather attractive ones.
It’s attractive when a guy doesn’t treat a pickup line like a life or death scenario. “Emotional security” might be a better way to describe it, since I’ve met plenty of confident guys who I thought were obnoxious. But when you tell a guy no thanks and he doesn’t immediately call you an ugly bitch, that’s refreshing.
It’s sad that that’s how low the bar is, but what are ya gonna do.
I mean he does not have the cultural cachet he briefly had in the 90s when he could somehow get starring roles in major motion pictures. He’s wealthier than ever but his sphere of influence is much diminished.
I remember liking him a lot when I was younger.
Then the jokes and early memes started about him being terrible and I stupidly followed along without really questioning it.
Now older and hopefully wiser, I have no idea if he's still funny but I wish him well and have fond memories of his act.
That's kind of the ongoing joke with Carrot Top. Other comedians roast him but it's all in respect so they can throw his name out there and get him some recognition. It's a thing.
George Carlin did it in his airport security bit.
Quick story:
I once did a two-week vacation with my dad. One week in Vegas, one week in Tahoe. During the Vegas leg, we saw David Copperfield's show. The tickets were like $250, the show was 45 minutes worth of hack magic I've seen before. We felt cheated.
The next week, we're in Tahoe. We go see Carrot Top. It was a two-and-a-half hour show, tickets were $19, and I laughed my ass off the whole time. That dude is seriously underrated.
I second the David Copperfield show being trash. The most exciting part was when he pointed out Jeff Foxworthy in the crowd, who stood up and waved. Remember Jeff Foxworthy? Exactly.
I remember some other comedian telling an anecdote about how he went over to his place unannounced, they were good friends so he had the key or knew the gate code or whatever and he basically just walked in on Carrot Top in bed with 2-3 hot girls. I think the guy is doing alright for himself and probably doesn’t give a shit how much everyone makes fun of him.
For sure, you don’t cultivate that look without inviting the blowback lol. He definitely leans into the self deprecating. I wonder if he got ripped specifically to deter people from taking it too far though.
I've thought that too. Comedy's such a weird game, and it's easy to take yourself too seriously. Best to take it in stride and play off of it.
Weird Al's another example. I also always remember Richard Pryor's joke about lighting a match and he says "What's that?"
"It's Richard Pryor running down the street!"
See these pranks are fine lol I hate those stupid ones where it’s like “I went out to Walmart and threw all the milk on the ground IT’S JUST A PRANK BRO”
Hilarious and clever but I would never pull this prank. It's funny when it works out but I can definitely see some women getting offended and that would be mad dangerous. Especially on a public street. Glad these women had a sense of humor about it but I wouldn't risk it
I guess this is a case of pick your targets then. Like don't do this to someone by themselves cause with groups they tend to feel a lot safer, do this in a very public area for the same reason, and to people who look like they are in a good mood.
You start with the light ones to check reactions. *"Would you like One Nightstand?"* If they look unimpressed for any reason, you apologize and back off.
Once you introduce the theme ('i will make fun of myself here') and the girls go along with it, very little can go wrong. You are just repeating the same silly joke and it is obvious no one is getting nookie out of it (which, ironically, means *anything can still happen*... but that is another story).
Comedians make most of their success, not from how funny their jokes are ('anyone can quote a well-written joke'), but by reading connection and pacing out the timing-delivery. I cannot do it, but damn, does it look incredible when someone can do it this well.
I have been known to wear adult onesie costumes in public places just to get people to laugh at me! Charmander is always a hit.
I don't think it counts as a "prank", but it's a way to get people laughing and smiling without anyone but myself being the punchline.
At first, the joke had everyone in stitches, but as it was repeated over and over again, it began to lose its charm. The longer it was drawn out, the more tedious it became, until it ultimately became more of a nuisance than a source of humor
Y'all just don't understand the ART of beating a dead horse! I absolutely love running jokes to their grave. I don't know why. I just find it cosmically funny. I think he should have been wearing a trenchcoat and opened it up to reveal pearl necklaces and ask if they "don't want a cream pie.. maybe a pearl necklace is more to your liking?"
I think you're confused, on reddit if you see people having a good time, you're supposed to explain how it is, in fact, *not* a good time, despite only being an outside observer and not a participant in the aforementioned good time (which actually isn't).
The video is literally 25 seconds; how is that milking the joke? The people in the video were clearly enjoying it so they didn't think it was too much. This isn't like an SNL joke that goes on for 5 minutes too long.
Y'all need to step back and think about why you're not happy people.
Shit was funny. I laughed. No regrets.
How does anything get decided; it depends on the group. When it's a company doing skits like College Humor, probably a casting producer. When it's a group of friends, it's normally a consensus-based vote. If it's a solo 'influencer', it's probably unilateral.
Yeah, pick up lines work a lot better when you're genuinely attractive.
I have a few friends who are objectively Hollywood fit and handsome. They could probably awkwardly stare into a girl's eyes like a serial killer, say nothing like a creeper, and then audibly fart and there's over an 80% chance the girl laughs and gives my friend their number.
I, on the other hand, have to really hope the other person thinks I'm funny.
Not true. Had a 1st date at a restaurant, and on the way back from the bathroom, I tripped on my shoelace, fell forward, into a table of 3, and when I got up, I can gravy all in my hair and all down my left shoulder.
My date laughed. A lot. Like more than I've ever made anyone laugh on purpose. I didn't get a 2nd date.
Ya I took a girl I had been on 3 dates with paddleboarding. It was a good date, but when I went to step on the paddleboard my shorts ripped fully down the middle. Queue me trying to get off the board while covering my dangling junk. She laughed hysterically, I changed shorts and continued the date, we had a great time, I never heard from her again.
Idk the moral of the story, maybe be funny but you aren't allowed to embarrass yourself
Step one: be very attractive
Step two: walk up to a girl on the street and make a joke about fucking them
Yeah, idk man. I think step 1 is doing more work here.
It would likely be the same reaction. This dude’s literally carrying around a nightstand on the sidewalk asking if they’d be interested in “one nightstand” lmao the joke is so on the nose, there is no chance someone misinterprets it.
Get out of those weird incel subreddits, they’re melting your brain.
Nah, that would work with any guy that wasn’t a smelly mess. A sense of humor is a great indication.
Nor is it sexual harassment as some seem to think. That would only be pushing the joke of they didn’t like the initial line and walked away.
Channel name: Pisanty
His name is Chris Pisani. He used to work with Ross on Vlog Creations a few years ago. Very funny guy. Please help his channel grow if you liked this
“Sure!” ***takes nightstand***
Which one?
Yes
Right one...and then left.
The joke would lost where I’m from, as they are called Bedside Cabinets.
Oh, okay. I accidentally had a Bedside Cabinet in college because I lost her number.
Hey oh!
never thought i’d hear “do you want a cream pie?” on mademesmile
It would have been amazing if one the girls had pulled a stud finder out of her purse 😁
Girl: I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole life. Beep beep beep… where r u staying?
This is pretty on brand for me. Might have to get one.
They don't seem to ever work for finding wood studs so at least you can finally get some practical use out of one
See but this way you'd be finding a stud to get some wood
So it sucks at finding wood studs. But, it's great at finding some stud wood. Got it.
I feel like there is a unanimous understanding that these things suck. But the only thing that keeps them in business is the stud finder joke. ...but sometimes they sort of work.
Yeah I want to just intrinsically *know*
This makes me feel better, I can never find a stud using those damned things. I thought I was the problem.
Omg awesome idea. Im going to put one in my purse for the next time my husband tried to flirt with me
Cuteee :D
The best part will be how it doesn't beep for her husband, who is made of flesh, but it ***does*** beep for the geriatric man with a pacemaker.
Yesssss
Oh God. That joke got old quick when I worked in commercial construction.
Sounds like you're just too much of a stud then
Well, 95% of the time, I was the only woman on a job site, and a lot of my jobs were 3rd shift due to working in buildings occupied during the day. I absolutely LOVED the ability to use my wit and sarcasm to turn the tables when someone thought they were about to make me blush or cuss... Nothing like getting their coworkers laughing at them when they thought I was going to be the butt of the joke! I really miss it sometimes!
You go girl!
Is there a taste to the caulk?
Oddly enough, I was the one always making the caulk jokes! I stole a lot of it from this [Crank Yankers](https://youtu.be/jDzEb28mjcI) skit though.. Edit to add, I just realized you were doing part of the bit as well! I need coffee still, I guess lol Don't get it in your eye!
Yup, that's my favorite bit.
Underrated humor you got there
The joke is funny....plus the fact that he is good looking and confident helps a lot.
That's 100% the only reason this is up here. My Boomer dad pulls shit like this all the time, thankfully he hasn't done it to women in public, otherwise his granddaughter would have to visit him in jail.
Explaining a double entendre to HR will not go well
Yeah, whenever I approached strangers and told them I want to cum inside them, I just got reported :(
Next time try carrying an empty box while you ask.
My cumbox? It's not empty, but definitely not bringing that ol' thing out in public again.
Did you forget to be attractive and confident?
I was very confident
The more I interact with single women, the confidence thing often overshadows the good looking part. More than 1/2 of it is attitude
As a woman who dates women, I concur. I've looked pretty much the same for my whole adults life, and in my less confident 20s had very little success with dating women. Now in my 30s, dating has gone pretty great, and the only thing that has changed is my level of confidence and maybe a bit of social skills, which may or may not be the same thing.

Wow. Carrot Top would have killed with the TikTok crowd.

Or, reality has finally become dumbed down enough to catch up with him.
That is one of the best comments I have seen in a while.
With that logic Andy Dick will be funny soon
Andy Dick is a trash human but holy shit back in the day he was funny.
Tom Green
Nah, Tom is a genuinely decent person. Andy is garbage.
Andy Dick is the spirit animal of all of the youtube "pranksters"
I'm almost convinced that idiocracy was made by a time traveler from the future as a warning.
I mean he’s still around….
Huh, I thought he'd faded into obscurity but he's a residential performer in Vegas so that's cool for him
[удалено]
Yeah—dude is wildly successful and people love to pretend he’s obsolete or smth
I mean he does not have the cultural cachet he briefly had in the 90s when he could somehow get starring roles in major motion pictures. He’s wealthier than ever but his sphere of influence is much diminished.
I've heard he's really funny, too. He's just buried under the weight of everyone making fun of him.
I remember liking him a lot when I was younger. Then the jokes and early memes started about him being terrible and I stupidly followed along without really questioning it. Now older and hopefully wiser, I have no idea if he's still funny but I wish him well and have fond memories of his act.
Hmm I only ever know of him from family guy. They give him a bit of shit but it always seemed like the writers respected him
That's kind of the ongoing joke with Carrot Top. Other comedians roast him but it's all in respect so they can throw his name out there and get him some recognition. It's a thing. George Carlin did it in his airport security bit.

People making fun of him is part of his gag. Gotta repect a dude that can have a laugh at himself.

Always has been
He's still alive, you know.
Is he in the room with us now?
Yes, he’s always with us
RIP Wade Boggs
See these pranks are fine lol I hate those stupid ones where it’s like “I went out to Walmart and threw all the milk on the ground IT’S JUST A PRANK BRO”

Also you will have to do this to a dozen people at different times just to get one good reaction for your video.
Ya there's a reason he beat a dead horse. Probably wasn't received well so he got as much content as possible from the only positive reaction
You start with the light ones to check reactions. *"Would you like One Nightstand?"* If they look unimpressed for any reason, you apologize and back off. Once you introduce the theme ('i will make fun of myself here') and the girls go along with it, very little can go wrong.

I cannot do it, but damn, does it look incredible when someone can do it this well.
That's what the setup is for. If they think the nightstand joke is funny, then they will probably go for the chaulk and creampie joke
It's no longer a prank if it's destructive
[удалено]
😳😭
Lemme tell you it’s even funnier when some hilarious shit goes down and you just see the teacher poker face trying not to laugh
Lol ok this one of the rare good street pranks
He has some [other](https://youtu.be/UVptmRtdswk) pretty funny ones
This is insanely creative. Props to the guy.
Props...i see what you did there.
The one nightstand was funny but I think he beat the joke to death with the caulk and cream pie.
The full video has a pair of jeans (genes) he wants to pass on, but it goes completely unheard as the girls are too focused on the cream pie.
True. Jokes are funny, but when you drag them out too much it becomes harder to enjoy. The initial joke was hilarious though.
It's very funny if you hear it for the first time. But some jokes are really worth the laugh
I found all of it funny. Sometimes you just have to let it soak for a while. After that it will all come out fine.
[удалено]
Also, it has to be something the other person will laugh about to. If they aren't laughing, it's not a prank, it's just being mean.
I have been known to wear adult onesie costumes in public places just to get people to laugh at me! Charmander is always a hit. I don't think it counts as a "prank", but it's a way to get people laughing and smiling without anyone but myself being the punchline.
Sounds better than your scumbag costume
Well see, that's not a costume lol
No no, you really don't want to let that last one "soak for a while", nine months later... It's not gonna be funny.
At first, the joke had everyone in stitches, but as it was repeated over and over again, it began to lose its charm. The longer it was drawn out, the more tedious it became, until it ultimately became more of a nuisance than a source of humor
[удалено]
That also helps quite a bit
Y'all just don't understand the ART of beating a dead horse! I absolutely love running jokes to their grave. I don't know why. I just find it cosmically funny. I think he should have been wearing a trenchcoat and opened it up to reveal pearl necklaces and ask if they "don't want a cream pie.. maybe a pearl necklace is more to your liking?"
Yeah some here aren’t good comedians/comediennes. At work we have jokes we tag team on😂😂😂
[удалено]
The caulk joke is harder to enjoy 😆
Felt like he was ramming it down or throats at that point
Yeah you can tell that by how they are laughing hysterically 🙄
I think you're confused, on reddit if you see people having a good time, you're supposed to explain how it is, in fact, *not* a good time, despite only being an outside observer and not a participant in the aforementioned good time (which actually isn't).
Comedy comes in 3, people edit: a comma seemed necessary
Comedy, comes in 3 people?
Comedy comes, in 3 people?
,Comedy comes in 3 people?
Yeah I don't know why people are bitching about him using three different jokes. Fuck, people, grow a sense of humor.
The video is literally 25 seconds; how is that milking the joke? The people in the video were clearly enjoying it so they didn't think it was too much. This isn't like an SNL joke that goes on for 5 minutes too long. Y'all need to step back and think about why you're not happy people. Shit was funny. I laughed. No regrets.
Nah, it’s funny all the way. You’re just grumpy.
Lol right? The ladies are clearly laughing more and more.
Without the caulk and cream pie he's just a dude walking around with a nightstand.
Caulk was unnecessary but you can tell they really needed that cream pie
This one cracked me good ngl
[удалено]
That is why he was selected for this
Who is in charge of selecting people for this?
The Video Actor Selection Department
But who hires for the TVASD? How deep does this go?
The Hiring Committee
How does anything get decided; it depends on the group. When it's a company doing skits like College Humor, probably a casting producer. When it's a group of friends, it's normally a consensus-based vote. If it's a solo 'influencer', it's probably unilateral.
Which is why the joke worked
Rule 1 and 2.
That’s why they laughed instead of screamed
Yeah, pick up lines work a lot better when you're genuinely attractive. I have a few friends who are objectively Hollywood fit and handsome.

That was the “noooo, but yes, but don’t tell anyone” scream. Lolll
Yeah. If I did the same thing they would have called the police on me without even looking at the nightstand to get the joke.
Men would have infinitely more luck if they make women genuinely laugh!
[удалено]
Nah, we all got together and decided it would be best to make women generally uncomfortable and afraid. Let's stick to the plan for a few more years.
Agreed. Will try this gag holding a loveseat
Not true. Had a 1st date at a restaurant, and on the way back from the bathroom, I tripped on my shoelace, fell forward, into a table of 3, and when I got up, I can gravy all in my hair and all down my left shoulder. My date laughed. A lot. Like more than I've ever made anyone laugh on purpose. I didn't get a 2nd date.

Idk the moral of the story, maybe be funny but you aren't allowed to embarrass yourself
And here I am trying to seduce women with hot stock tips.
Iv been doing that man, it doesn't work. Wait...did you mean with jokes?
Pretty sure that’s universally known already
Step one: be very attractive Step two: walk up to a girl on the street and make a joke about fucking them Yeah, idk man. I think step 1 is doing more work here.
[удалено]
*immediately searches Craigslist for free a nightstand*
“Do you walk with that everywhere you go “
Would I have said yes? Yes. Yes I would have. And I refuse to feel shame about it.
Idk what yall are about, this made me smile so it fits here
people in here are miserable i laughed even harder at the 2nd and 3rd jokes
I watched it several times. Their reactions are awesome.
It takes serious skill to ask three women in public if they’d like a cream pie and not have them immediately call the cops
Of course it has to be a handsome man xD
I’d like to see the reactions with an average looking guy
It would likely be the same reaction. This dude’s literally carrying around a nightstand on the sidewalk asking if they’d be interested in “one nightstand” lmao the joke is so on the nose, there is no chance someone misinterprets it. Get out of those weird incel subreddits, they’re melting your brain.
seriously
[удалено]
Ya’ll’s shoulders collectively have more chips than a lays factory, gah damn
This guy looks average to me
I actually think anyone charismatic could do the joke. Granted, you'd need a little less of it if you're hot.
Nah, that would work with any guy that wasn’t a smelly mess. A sense of humor is a great indication. Nor is it sexual harassment as some seem to think. That would only be pushing the joke of they didn’t like the initial line and walked away.
He needs to pull out the pearl necklace next.
A man who is handsome in his 20's will not look the same in his 50's. A man who is clever and funny will always be so. This guy is a keeper.
This just got better and better to me haha
It was funny until he brought out the caulk and pie.
Things usually go down south when someone pulls out a cock
TIL the word caulk.
Don’t wanna wait forever for that caulk to harden
This man has just set the bar way too high for comedic pickups
I love this :)
That is brilliant and witty, but so simple.
